Interesting insight into the life and less-known sides of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent. This was more than a mere tribute to the fashion icon by shots of most (if not all) of his successful collections, it was an in-depth description of what it meant to live with and love a sensitive genius who always carried his own crucifix. The dedication of the faithful Pierre was moving as he guarded over his frail partner who might go off anytime like fireworks.
Consider me priggish if you will; I felt the film focused slightly too much on the decadence (alcohol, drugs, sex - you name it) of the chief protagonist. Though perhaps for some talented souls, these indulgences served as their Muse. The fashion shows were intoxicating, and the wedding gowns (especially the Madonna) were awe-inspiring and overwhelming. Overall, I'd say a 6.8 out of 10.
